Son of Kronprinz Rupprecht von Bayern (Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria) de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupprecht_von_Bayern The German wikipedia page for the father suggests that Prince Luitpold was born in 1901 and died in 1914. The English Wikipedia page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupprecht,_Crown_Prince_of_Bavaria indicates that the cause of his early death was polio.

I will leave this to those who know the tiny intricacies of royal titles, but I don't think he was ever Crown Prince. Here's the original uncropped postcard from the Victoria and Albert Museum Collection: collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O37616/skh-erbprinz-luitpold-v... Information (in German) on the photographer, Franz Grainer (1871-1948), Bavarian Court Photographer and a founding member of the Society of German Photographic Artists (GDL), (predecessor of the German Photographic Academy) of which he became Chairman. : de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Grainer

Thanks to both of you for your research. It looks as though that postcard from the V&A was the source of Bain's image, artolog. And they include a great description of his clothing as well as a date, the year he died. We'll add some of this information to the record the next time we update.
